I'm playing my files from a network share and when there is some load on the share (e.g. copying files) the share does not respond for up to a few seconds occasionally, this seems to be a problem with my fileserver.
Meaning that the network share does not serve any requests, it totally blocks for up to a few seconds (e.g. shows no files in explorer when clicking a folder etc.).
All files are image+cue in flac format on a SAMBA share.
Increasing the buffer size does not help, even at 30 seconds if the network share hangs for a bit the audio drops out almost instantly.
Using WASAPI (shared) but this also happens with DirectSound this just repeats a small part (< 1 sec) of the track playing instead of stopping totally.
I tried to increase the buffer to 30 seconds, enabling PlayerWasapiEventMode with 5000 PlayerWasapiEventModeBuffer but nothing helps.
Even if the network would drop out completely MB should continue to play until the buffers are empty, that is up to 30 seconds on the highest setting.
This looks as if the buffer size is just ignored and a small default value (< 1 sec) is used instead.
I have a simple audio player which uses openal with a 2 MiB buffer size and there where no drop outs even if the network share was hanging for a moment.
